The moment the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent appeared in front of them, JoyBoy disappeared from his position and appeared in front of it and flicked its head with his finger making it smash in the ground and faint from the shock.
Then he picked it up by holding its mouth making sure it remains close even if it were to wake up and took it to Oscar.
"Kill it, quickly!"
He said this while looking at the direction from where the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent had come flying, with a serious expression as he knew what was going to happen next and could sense two persons coming towards them from that direction.
Seeing his expression, everyone got ready for battle while Zhao Wuji pulled a short blade from his belt and gave it to Oscar who then immediately used it to kill the spirit beast. Seeing the serpent killed this way disturbed Xiao Wu but Tang San quickly talked to her and her mood got better.
Oscar sat down directly at the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's side, lifting his hand to summon his big fresh sausage, under the shroud of mild pink light, he pulled the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent's spirit ring to enter his torso, starting to absorb the third spirit ring of his life.
Immediately following, two people leapt out from the direction the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent had come flying, appearing before everyone. These two people were one old and one young, both women.
The elder looked sixty or seventy years old, a full head of white hair combed very neatly, right hand holding a snake head walking stick three meters long, six spirit rings moving rhythmically up and down her body. While her body did not show any changes, the spirit rings showed she already used her spirit, without need to ask, the walking stick in her hand should be her spirit.
Following at the old woman's side, was a beautiful young lady, hair even with her ears, looking like sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing neat brilliant clothing, big dark brown eyes staring fixedly at that Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent by Oscar's side. She also held a snake head walking stick in her hand, but compared to the old woman's it was a bit shorter, only two meters long, the spirit rings on her body were also only two hundred year's.
After seeing that the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent was already dead their face dropped, both having an ugly expression on their faces. Seeing Oscar's age surprised them but they didn't wait there for long and chose to directly leave.
After they left, everyone calmed down a little and looked towards JoyBoy who went near Oscar and stood protectively watching everywhere making sure nothing can come close to Oscar and disturb or harm him. Others also copied his actions and soon everyone including Zhao Wuji was surrounding Oscar who was absorbing his third spirit ring.
"Brother JoyBoy, how did you know that those two were about to appear from that direction ?"
Tang San asked the question that was in everyone's mind after Xiao Wu nudged him. JoyBoy gently smiled and explained in a soft voice
"Brother San, its because of the wounds on its tail and under the wings. When it appeared before us, it was moving very fast towards our direction but our presence clearly surprised it. This together with the wounds present on it clearly meant that it was running away from something or someone hunting it. As for who it was running away from, we clearly know now."
Hearing him, everyone once again looked at him with wide eyes including Tang San. The time between when the serpent appeared in front of them and when JoyBoy attacked it, hardly a moment had passed. It was hard for them to believe that he was able to notice all these things and make such quick decisions in such a short time.
After some time, Oscar finished absorbing his spirit ring and stood up excitedly. After obtaining the third spirit ring, Oscar's entire body had subtly changed, his stature seemed to have became a bit larger, the entire person looking even more vigorous, but the biggest change was that pair of peach blossom eyes of his. In his eyes unexpectedly flickered seven colored light, resembling the energy previously released by the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent as it threatened everyone.
"Congratulations, little Ao."
Zhao Wuji said to him with smile. Dai Mubai laughed straightforwardly,
"Little Ao, you are the third of us to break through thirtieth rank. Congratulations, congratulations. Quickly let us have a look at what your third spirit ring ability is."
Oscar was obviously greatly excited on receiving the third spirit ring, however, hearing Dai Mubai mention his third spirit ring ability, his smile didn't quite appear, embarrassed saying
"Let it be, we'll speak again when we've returned."
Ma Hongjun said
"Little Ao, what are you afraid of. Don't tell me you're still afraid we'll make fun of you? Your third spirit ability's spirit incantation couldn't be even funnier than your previous two. Your brothers made a lot of effort for you, hurry up and show us the result."
"Only, promise, you definitely can't laugh when you hear my spirit incantation."
Everyone nodded simultaneously, on their faces already somewhat smiling expressions. Oscar raised his right hand, eventually reciting his third spirit incantation
"I your father have a mushroom sausage."
Pu——, hearing his words, practically everyone simultaneously burst out laughing, besides JoyBoy, who was silently observing everything with a gentle smile, even Zhao Wuji burst into loud laughter. Oscar glared at everyone
"Didn't you promise not to laugh?"
These words instead had the opposite effect, everyone's laughter became even more difficult to endure. After he explained his third spirit ring's ability, everyone calmed down. They were shocked to know that his third ability will allow anyone who eats it to fly for a minute at the speed of the Phoenix Tail Crest Serpent. Zhao Wuji nodded satisfied, saying
"Good thing we didn't waste our energy for nothing. Little Ao, your third spirit ring is exceptionally good. With your current spirit power, how many of these mushroom sausages can you make?"
Oscar thought for a bit and said
"This mushroom sausage uses a lot more spirit power than the first two types. With my current condition, I can make at most ten in one sitting. Afterwards, my spirit power will be completely exhausted. It will have to replenish fully before I can make more again."
Looking at the students, Zhao Wuji said with satisfaction
"Ten sausages is enough. As your spirit power increases, this number will increase. Among the food system spirits, your sausages, from now on, can be categorized as highest grade. Good. Everyone prepare at once, we will immediately leave this place and return to the Academy."
